Kalanikaumakaowākea (or Kalanikaumaka-o-Wākea) was an Aliʻi nui of the island of Maui in ancient Hawaii.
He was named after the god called Wākea, who is the Sky father in Hawaiian religion and mythology.
Kalanikaumakaowākea was the son of the Aliʻi Kauhiakama and his wife, Queen Kapukini III (daughter of Chief Makakaualiʻi);[1] however, some accounts have him the piʻo (the sacred child of the siblings) son of Kauhiakama and his sister Piʻilanikapo.
[3] Kalanikaumakaowākea married a woman named Kekaikuihala (Kaneakaula),[4] whose parents were Chief Kuhinahinau of Kawaihae and his wife Keakahiwaʻakama.
With Makaku, Kalanikaumakaowākea had a son named ʻUmi-a-Liloa II.
